Nomophobia, the fear or worry that arises when someone is separated from their smartphone, has become a problem in today's digitally connected culture. This research uses meta-analysis research methods. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020) were used in this study.
